Gucci Mane, the influential Atlanta rapper, has openly discussed his struggles with bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia in his new memoir, "Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man." Alongside his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, Gucci detailed the challenges of managing severe mental illness within a high-profile career during an interview on The Breakfast Club, highlighting how Ka’oir supports him by recognizing early warning signs and intervening to protect both his health and public image. Gucci’s turbulent past, marked by erratic behavior such as his infamous ice cream face tattoo, is now understood as part of his mental health journey.
